NASA approved the InSight Mission for a May 2018 launch to Mars after the flight had to be delayed from its March 2016 launch slot due to a serious problem with one of the Mars Lander’s seismic instruments.

NASA is not giving up on the Mars InSight mission, the agency announced on Wednesday, noting that the mission is targeting a launch date of May 5, 2018 after its 2016 launch campaign had to be suspended due to problems with the prime instrument of the stationary Mars lander.

NASA announced on Tuesday that the Mars InSight mission is forced to suspend its plans of a March 2016 launch after the key instrument of the stationary Mars lander suffered a series of leaks that can not be repaired in time to meet the planetary launch window.
